Hello, I have installed FreeBSD 7.0R on that eeePC 900 and because of the limited life time of the SSD (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wear_levelling ) I disabled some logging stuff which I don't need on that tiny laptop, for example: syslogd_enable="NO" sendmail_enable="NONE" cron_enable="NO" newsyslog_enable="NO" as well I have: - not created any swap partition (the box runs fine with 1 GByte RAM) - mount the file systems with 'noatime' - put /tmp into memory file system with 128 MByte any other ideas how to reduces unnecessary often-writes? I'd also like to get rid of 'lastlog' and 'wtmp' but even if the man page claims that they will not be created if they don't exist, they come up again and again; another candidate of not needed log is /var/log/Xorg.n.log ... thx matthias -- Matthias Apitz Manager Technical Support - OCLC GmbH Gruenwalder Weg 28g - 82041 Oberhaching - Germany t +49-89-61308 351 - f +49-89-61308 399 - m +49-170-4527211 e <matthias.apitz@oclc.org> - w http://www.oclc.org/ http://www.UnixArea.de/ b http://gurucubano.blogspot.com/ «...una sola vez, que es cuanto basta si se trata de verdades definitivas.» «...only once, which is enough if it has todo with definite truth.» José Saramago, Historia del Cerca de Lisboa
